Fruit Logistica Innovation Award 2017 nominees revealed

The shortlist for the 2017 Fruit Logistica Innovation Award (FLIA) has been announced, with the ten innovations selected to be presented from 8-10 February 2017 in a special exhibition between Halls 20 and 21 at Fruit Logistica.

The winner of the award will be selected by the more than 70,000 trade visitors from over 130 countries attending the exhibition. They will be able to cast their vote for the innovation of the year on the first two days of the trade fair, before the winner is announced on Friday 10 February.

"The Fruit Logistica Innovation Award is considered the industry's most important award," said Fruit Logistica global brand Manager Wilfried Wollbold. "It attracts considerable media attention and recognises new products and services whose market launch in recent months will give important impetus to the international fresh produce trade."
